The Hardy’s gave their biggest tease yet on Monday Night RAW about becoming ‘Broken’ in WWE. This included Jeff saying: “maybe we should just fade away and classify ourselves as obsolete”. Matt also said that they were “a little stitched up, a little bruised and somewhat broken.”
WWE put another big tease about the gimmick on their Youtube channel. They posted a video of the segment from RAW titled: “Have The Hardy Boyz become ‘obsolete’?”. This was the most that we have seen the Hardy’s (and WWE) tease their ‘Broken’ gimmicks since returning to WWE at Wrestlemania 33.
So what the heck is going on?
Here are some of the latest rumors and speculation on the gimmick.
It was reported by Dave Meltzer about a week ago that a deal was close between the Hardy’s and Impact for use of the gimmick but the situation was changing every day. The teases from RAW this week certainly give some credence to the idea that a deal has been reached (or is close to happening).
An idea could be that the Hardy’s will slowly become ‘Broken’. Speculation from some fans is that the Hardy’s will continue to lose matches over the next few weeks to really build up the storyline. On RAW this week, they were defeated by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. They were also taken out after the match by the Revival. This came after failing to win back their RAW Tag Team titles on multiple occasions. After multiple losses it could lead them to becoming ‘Broken’.
There were also these tweets from Matt on Tuesday that give us some mixed signals:
If @EdNordholm & @RealJeffJarrett don’t wrap up this situation with us shortly, it’s gonna get terribly nasty. We have lots to expose.

Should be fun to see how this develops over the next few weeks. There is no denying that this week was the biggest tease of all for the gimmick coming to WWE. Reminder as always to take rumors and speculation with a grain of salt. We will have to see what happens.
